Sources like the daily Mail are jumping on the story that Spurs are in talks with the attacker, who received a bid from Chelsea in the summer. He ended up staying at Club Brugge, where he’s carried on his impressive form from last season.
His club are said to want £25m, plus a loan back for the Norway international until the end of the season. That seems cheap, compared to what we were paying for wingers a year ago.
It would be a real shame to miss out on this talent and watch him tearing it up at Spurs now. Let’s hope that our sporting directors still have a trick or two up their sleeves – although perhaps that’s asking too much.
spurs were one of the teams battling for the 18-year-old Club Brugge winger in the January transfer window, who recorded four assists and a goal in his first four matches for Norway, as part of a £25million deal but ended up losing out initially to Brentford, who could offer Nusa more immediate playing time and starts.
Club Brugge wonderkid was heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer only to choose Brentford before that move collapsed
football London reported at the time that Tottenham held talks for the player but for a raw but talented teenager not starting regularly for his Belgian side yet, they couldn’t offer similar guarantees to him for next season with their current squad. The player and his camp also felt at that point that moving to one of the bigger clubs was too big a step in his development even though the talented Norway international is expected to reach that level.
However, a problem then occurred in his medical with Brentford which ultimately culminated in its collapse. After the transfer window closed, Nusa went for further tests with the Norwegian national team where they discovered that the findings of the medical “do not cause problems or symptoms and is ready for training and games”, according to national team doctor Ola Sand.
Spurs ended up signing another talented Scandinavian in central midfielder lucas from Djurgarden, beating Barcelona to his signature for just £8.6million, but were expected to continue to monitor Nusa’s situation.
Nusa has started and played most of the past three matches for Brugge in the Jupiler League since and football.london spoke to Stian Andre de Wahl from Norwegian media outlet nettavisa , who have been on top of the player’s situation throughout, to get the latest on the teenager, his future and those Tottenham links.
